TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

NO. 03-01-00120-CR

Marvin Tealer, Appellant v. The State of Texas, Appellee

FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, 390TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT NO. 006718, HONORABLE JULIE H. KOCUREK, JUDGE PRESIDING

PER CURIAM Marvin Tealer pleaded guilty to aggravated assault, enhanced by a previous felony conviction. See Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 22.02 (West 1994). The district court adjudged him guilty and assessed punishment at imprisonment for nineteen years as called for in a plea bargain agreement.

The clerk’s record contains a written waiver of appeal signed by appellant, his attorney, and the trial court. This document, which reflects a knowing and voluntary waiver of the right to appeal, was signed after sentence was imposed in open court. A defendant who knowingly and intelligently waives his right to appeal may not thereafter appeal without the consent of the trial court. Ex parte Dickey, 543 S.W.2d 99 (Tex. Crim. App. 1976); see also Hurd v. State, 548 S.W.2d 388 (Tex. Crim. App. 1977); Reed v. State, 516 S.W.2d 680 (Tex. Crim. App. 1974). There is nothing in the record to indicate that appellant has the court’s permission to pursue this appeal.

The appeal is dismissed.
